“The religious imagination survives for most people today as not just the primary but virtually the only credible instance of an imagination working in a total way.”

“Sarah Hall re-conceptualizes devotional spaces and images in new ways. In her magnificent ‘Living Cross’ Rosette Window, she has the vegetative colours of life in the form of a cross, suggesting the Resurrection and Pentecost as much as the Crucifixion itself. She re-imagines Christ as nature, a tree, a plant, as ‘the force that through the green fuse drives the flower’(Dylan Thomas). The crucifixion is living, and recurrent. It goes on at all times, in all places.”

“To the religious person, everything is religious. God can be sensed, discerned and somehow found, in all created things. God’s first words in creation were: ‘Let there be Light.’ But light, the revealing creature, can also be contemplated in itself.”

The Earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof;
The world, and they that dwell therein.

“Stained glass captures sunlight and heightens our experience of it. Like clay that goes through the fire, light that passes through stained glass is transformed. Light itself becomes a tangible presence, as concrete as the walls and furniture. It also transforms the space within, giving it subtlety and poetic luminosity. If sunlight is what gives a building its soul, then it is stained glass that reveals the soul of sunlight.”

“B’nai Keshet is never the same. Coloured light streams in, patterns form on the walls, glass takes on a sudden glow —and in a moment, all of the colour, patterns and glow have disappeared or changed with the movement of the sun or a cloud. The windows possess a beauty that helps us to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. There is a strength to their geometric structure which invites our own quiet. And there is a playfulness to the windows which makes us want to sing in response.”

“Her most uncompromisingly modern designs nevertheless show scrupulous regard for the essential reality of her medium as two-dimensional design in transparent colour and opaque line.”

My image of the ‘the Kingdom’ encompasses both heaven and earth. The heavens spiral downwards. The sun warms the land and wheat grows joyfully and abundantly. Streams and water flow through the base of the windows.

“Sarah uses colour and line in architectonic harmony much as choreographers blend movement, music, and the bodies of individual dancers into unified, complementary compositions. In Sarah’s work, the blend includes the subtle interrelationships between glass as window, glass as design, and glass functioning in concert with architecture.”
